Yep, that is a given.

Why not, a custom Mack will be just fine.

That's right, John! It is, after all, the SPAM-O-MACK!

I literally had a first. Seriously. I added the radiator and much to my surprise and delight, the bottom radiator hose just fit in the mounting hole at the bottom. Then, the top hose matched up as well. I kid you not, this is a first.

Battery boxes are in and some other pieces parts.

Then the fuel tanks. Going with the squared off ones. May use either BMF or the Molotow chrome.

Looking good !

And I like those small but visible details that just descretely, without any big announcements "pops-up" during the build.
